Bottle. Poured clear yellow color with a medium frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate yeast sweet citrus and spice aroma. Medium body with a tingly smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where just met.

Bevuta al Villaggio della Birra 2012 alla spina. Ottimo profilo aromatico complesso e buona base alcolica. Si percepisce una certa speziatura e si sentono le note agrumate/citriche del del curaçao. Deliziosa.

Light pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of malts, hops and spices. Sweet malty aroma, light buckwheat, light hops. Finish malts, light hops and light sweetness.
Nice brew.

30/03/2013 La Tana (tap). Gialla paglierino, opalescente e torbida,, schiuma a grana finissima, abbastanza abbondante e persistente. Al naso è acidula, con sentori di limone, frumento e malto, abbastanza intenso. In bocca dolciastra di malto e acidula, lievemente citrica, grande beva, nonostante faccia 7 gradi e mezzo, ne dimostra 3 di meno! Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione media. Gran bella birra, ha la bevibilità di una blanche ma con più corpo e sostanza.

Bottle. Pours gold with white head. Nose and taste of buckwheat, banana, flaked oats and spicy malt, Full bodied. Slightly boozy banana finish.
